<p>One famous work of pacifist feminism is Virginia Woolf's <i>Three Guineas</i>. In that book, she <a href="http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/w/woolf/virginia/w91tg/chapter1.html">argues that</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>though many instincts are held more or less in common by both sexes, to fight has always been the man's habit, not the woman's. Law and practice have developed that difference, whether innate or accidental. Scarcely a human being in the course of history has fallen to a woman's rifle; the vast majority of birds and beasts have been killed by you, not by us; and it is difficult to judge what we do not share.</p>
<p>How then are we to understand your problem, and if we cannot, how can we answer your question, how to prevent war? The answer based upon our experience and our psychology—Why fight?—is not an answer of any value. Obviously there is for you some glory, some necessity, some satisfaction in fighting which we have never felt or enjoyed. Complete understanding could only be achieved by blood transfusion and memory transfusion—a miracle still beyond the reach of science.</p>

<p><b>Congresswoman Barbara Lee: once the lone voice against the Afghanistan war</b></p>
<p>In 2001, Lee was the only vote in Congress against the war, just days after 9/11. Eleven years later, she's not gloating</p>
<p>"We are not dealing with a conventional war," she said. "We cannot respond in a conventional manner. I do not want to see this spiral out of control … If we rush to launch a counterattack, we run too great a risk that women, children and other noncombatants will be caught in the cross-fire … Finally, we must be careful not to embark on an open-ended war with neither an exit strategy nor a focused target. We cannot repeat past mistakes."</p>
<p class="stand-first-alone">Today <a href="http://www.pollingreport.com/afghan.htm">60% of Americans believe</a> the country should not be involved in Afghanistan, 59% believe the war has not been a success, two thirds oppose the war and more than half want US troops out quicker than 2014.</p>
<p class="stand-first-alone">In her speech she warned Congress: "As we act, let us not become the evil that we deplore." ... She believes that when it comes to its constitutional duties she describes Congress as "missing in action".</p>
<p class="stand-first-alone">Lee believes that as America prepares to move on it should not neglect is responsibility to right those things it has done wrong. "We bombed the heck out of these countries. We shattered lives. The refugee numbers are horrendous. We've unfortunately killed innocent civilians. We have a moral responsibility to figure out how to help."<br/> <br/>
